I recently had the pleasure of having a book signing with my fellow Wido Author Gardner Browning, who is the author of Everblade and Cerulean Isle. It was a smashing success! Gardner aka "Buddy" showed me how to bring book signings to life. This guy brought it to the next level, and had an Irish dance student doing a jig in the middle of the store for us. How did he do it you ask. By bringing his story to life, waving people over, telling them why they should read his book, and being curious about what they like to read. We can all sit there and say silent prayers that people will come to our table and take some swag, or we can take control and be the life of the party so people want to read our books. How do you draw in people at your book signings?

Thanks Buddy for a fantastic afternoon and showing this author a thing or two!

I really haven't been home, hence my blogger absence. I recently went from a full-time writer/mom to getting a full time job. It's been a challenge working a real work week and having to get up at a certain time, so my writing has been at a standstill. I really miss writing in my pajamas and cuddling with my cats, but I do have a pretty cool job. No complaining here. I work at my local humane society, and have recently been promoted as the small animal manager. I'm working to bring awareness to the public especially on caring for rabbits, as they are the third most popular animal brought to shelters across the US.That's me now--working mom saving all the little animals and young adult paranormal writer by night! Ohhh it sounds like my new author bio haha.Before I show you what I get to do all day, I want to tell you how something weird happened as I was editing Deadly Darkness (Book 2 in the Deadly Kisses Trilogy) I realized I had written a whole scene focusing on a humane society. Maybe it was deja vu. I certainly got spine-tingling chills.Here are some of the animals that needed help and have been recently adopted!

Alexia’s nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless.

Crystal, thanks for stopping by today and bringing Bellezza along with you. Please sit down and enjoy this interview! Bellezza agreed to play nice for a short amount of time, so hurry and read, and then go to the Rafflecopter giveaway at the end.

Bellezza
takes a seat, honeydew ringlets spilling loosely over thin shoulders. No more
than thirteen, she glares through chocolate eyes that bear as much gravity as a
black-hole. Her cheeks twitch upward in a sneer-smile hybrid.

1.If
you had a free day with no responsibilities and your only mission was to enjoy
yourself, what would you do?

*

blinks in horror* Die. Maybe
I’d have to start plotting my own death from boredom.

2.What
impression do you make on people when they first meet you?

*grinning
maliciously* They are charmed. Aren’t you charmed? *batting eyes* Am I not the
very image of a porcelain doll?

3.What
are you most proud of about your life?

No man or
cage can hold me. I am free. Like the wind.

4.Do
you think you’ve turned out the way your parents expected?

My parents
had no expectations for me. Weak things that they were.

5.You’re
saying they’re dead?

Killed old
pappy myself.

6.Can
I ask why?

*grin fades*
Depends. Do you like horror stories? *brows lower* Keep on this line of
questioning and your life will be one.

7.What
would you like it to say on your tombstone?

I will have
no tombstone. I will never die.

8.What’s
the worst thing you’ve ever done to someone?

*cocks her
head grinning* I sent a woman as strong
as myself to the Soulless. And may she suffer for eternity.

9.Why?

*grimaces*
She stabbed me with gold. Do you know what that feels like? Imagine acid—liquid
acid beneath your skin. Now times that by one hundred.

10.What
are you most afraid of?

If you tell
anyone this, I will dangle your innards from the nearest flagpole. Understood?
*squints, pointing with a threatening finger* I am irredeemable. In the end I
will be alone. But I must continue in my mission, for myself, for those who
have suffered. I am a product of my circumstances, a tool no loving or
respectable person can be.

Author Bio: Crystal, author of MOONLESS, is a former composer/writer for Black Diamond Productions. She can be found practicing her brother-induced ninja skills while teaching children or madly typing about fantastic and impossible creatures. She has lived from coast to coast and now calls Florida home with her creative husband, three littles, and “friend” (a.k.a. the zombie locked in her closet). Secretly, she dreams of world domination and a bottomless supply of cheese. You can find her on her blog and Facebook, or follow her on Twitter.

Every year I argue with myself if I should attempt NaNo or not, and every year I end up going for it it. The thought of writers trying to make their word count with me is somewhat comforting.I wonder if they are drinking gallons of coffee to stay awake, or are they not using contractions in an attempt to up their word count.Are they writing a novel, or are they writing poems daily.Do they have an end goal of getting their novel published, or is it just for fun. My questions are endless.

I like to NaNo as a outline for my stories, and then I can go back and edit like crazy. My book, Deadly Kisses, was a NaNo project a couple of years ago. This year I'll attempt to write the final book in the trilogy, Deadly Escape. Wish me luck, and have fun all you NaNoers out there!So tell me. Are you doing NaNo, and if so, why?

I'm so excited to be a part of the cover reveal blog tour for my very dear blogger friend, Crystal Collier! We've been buddies ever since I started the Choose Your Own Adventure Blog Hops (which I need to start again), and I've been following Crystal's writing journey every step of the way. I jumped up and down, and celebrated with a tray of cheese and crackers when she told me MOONLESS was going to be published.

It's an honor to help reveal her cover to you. I know you'll love it as much as I do. Enjoy!

Alexia must choose safety and an arranged marriage, or true love and being hunted by the Soulless every moonless night.
